“I found I was repeating myself. It is the beginning of the end when you discover you have style.”

“I discovered for myself and by myself that there is no self to realize -- that's the realization I am talking about. It comes as a shattering blow. It hits you like a thunderbolt. You have invested everything in one basket, self-realization, and, in the end, suddenly you discover that there is no self to discover, no self to realize -- and you say to yourself "What the hell have I been doing all my life?!" That blasts you.”

“I have found that the process of discovering who I really am begins with knowing who I really don't want to be.”

“Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.”

“Wisdom begins when you discover the difference between "That doesn't make sense" and "I don't understand.”

“It's only a story, you say. So it is, and the rest of life with it - creation story, love story, horror, crime, the strange story of you and I. The alphabet of my DNA shapes certain words, but the story is not told. I have to tell it myself. What is it that I have to tell myself again and again? That there is always a new beginning, a different end. I can change the story. I am the story. Begin.”
